Using mixers on the IO side had a remote benefit of being able to
override all control surfaces with a radio remote on a fixed wing.
This ended up not being used that much and since the original design
10 years ago (2011) we have been able to convince ourselves that the
overall system stability is at a level where this marginal benefit,
which is not present on multicopters, is not worth the hazzle.

With Makefile build, generate_component_general.py was called twice during
build, which did not happen with the ninja build.
This created a race condition with the following error in rare cases:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/__w/PX4-Autopilot/PX4-Autopilot/src/lib/component_information/generate_component_general.py", line 79, in <module>
save_compressed(filename)
File "/__w/PX4-Autopilot/PX4-Autopilot/src/lib/component_information/generate_component_general.py", line 33, in save_compressed
with open(filename, 'r') as content_file:
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/__w/PX4-Autopilot/PX4-Autopilot/build/px4_sitl_default/component_general.json'
make[3]: *** [src/lib/component_information/CMakeFiles/component_information_header.dir/build.make:68: component_general.json] Error 1
Merging the targets avoids the duplicate execution.
The following exception occurs in some rare cases (but only with make build: NO_NINJA_BUILD=1 px4_sitl_default):
Traceback (most recent call last):

This also simplifies the API a bit, since we anyway have to change the
drivers to pass additional information (the bus device index).
The orientation flag is merged with the rotation.
Only needed for Makefile-based builds:
gmake[3]: *** No rule to make target 'src/modules/flight_mode_manager/FlightTasks_generated.hpp', needed by 'events/px4.json'. Stop.
- sending protocol
- uorb event message & template methods for argument packing
- libevents submodule to send common events and handle json files
- cmake maintains a list of all (PX4) source files for the current build
(PX4 modules + libs), which is used to extract event metadata and
generate a json file
